  1. They are providing the venders Windows 10S, which only runs apps from the app store. It is running on ARM processors. Isn't this just RT with the possibility of running emulated regular Windows applications?

    Not to mention warp drive will only work at light speed. Better than what we have now, but still a long time to get anywhere.

    If you attended an accredited college, the courses should count. Now, as part of the degree requirements at the community college you may need to take classes that are not required for the bachelor's degree at your next university, and won't transfer.

  4. Didn't that start back in the Bronze Age?

  5. Only share the data with the FBI and the Russians. They get it anyway, might as well make it easier.

    Maybe this is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius!

  7. We call it gasoline since that is what the English first called it. Then they decided that the French word pétrole was cool, and started calling it petrol. Stop borrowing French words and we might keep the languages the same.

    Now they will have to go back to jumping through hoops and whistling for tidbits.

  11. Accepting payment in fish? on Linux Journal Ceases Publication (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 2

    No wonder they went out of business, they shouldn't have accepted payment in fish. Harder to convert to hard currency than bitcoins, too short of a shelf-life.

  12. Any more, I think Google's legal department is larger than their search engine department. I think half the world is suing them.

    It's against to law to be cruel to them, so you can't just stop feeding them. You can only shoot them during specific seasons, normally around their breeding time. That is why most of them vacation in the Caribbean, since state laws don't apply.

  23. Children of Thalidomide on The Feds Are Officially Cracking Down on Basement Biohackers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    You must be careful rushing wonder solutions without adequate testing. Thalidomide was supposed to be a wonderful solution to morning sickness for pregnant women. It never completed testing in the US, but was approved for use in Europe. Once in use, the women who took it were giving birth to children with horrendous birth defects. The testing done was only testing if it had any effect on the women taking it, and hadn't progressed to checking the effect on the unborn child.
